I just want to make it better. . .

[seekpeaceofmind]

I don't feel in a place that I want to shut down and let go yet, i'm not ready for that,

I'm really working on this - I want to learn to be happy with what I have now, living in the present. It's hard b/c I have been so focused on wanting a life partner and trying to deal with the loss of that dream or obsession or delusion - whatever it is. I feel that my life is enhanced by sharing it, but that is just not going to happen right now and I don't control it, anyway. I think I'm getting there, but "peace of mind" doesn't come easily to me, hence my name on this site.

I am reading "A New Earth" right now and there are a couple of quotes that I've marked because they are so pertinent to this journey. This is one:
"If there is unhappiness in you, first you need to acknowledge that it is there. But don't say, 'I'm unhappy.' Unhappiness has nothing to do with who you are. Say: 'There is unhappiness in me.' "
Since I have said "I'm unhappy" to myself many times over the past couple of years, this is a change I have made starting this weekend and I think it will help my PMA.
